“What kind of wine should I buy objectively?”

"Huadiao wine."

"Where are the flowers?"

"The hanging flower in the city."

"plz follow me."

After the code words were exchanged, the shopkeeper took Zhao Lishan into the back room.

However, Zhao Lishan did not stay long. After seeing a visitor, he just handed over the note in his hand and chose to leave.

The man was somewhat strong and tough, and he looked like he was in the military. When he opened the note and looked at it, his pupils suddenly froze.

There was only a slight hesitation and then he left quickly.

...

"The sunset in the capital is so beautiful. It feels different when you look at it from the palace."

"We have never seen such a prosperous scene in our lives. When we were in Yuan Dadu, we thought it was the most majestic and spectacular. We never thought that our own Nanjing city was even worse than that of Mongolia and Yuan Dadu.

It’s going to be more lively.”

"Dasun, you said that we want to move the capital to Fengyang. Is this idea possible?"

The Qinhuai Attic is three stories high. Standing here, you can see the vast bustling capital.

As the saying goes, if you don't return to your homeland with rich clothes, it is like walking at night with rich clothes.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he had always been thinking about moving the capital.

I have a special concern for my hometown Fengyang.

Now the foundation of Fengyang Zhongdu Palace has been established. Previously, due to financial problems of the Ministry of Household Affairs, construction of a part of it was suspended.

Now that the Ministry of Revenue was rich and the internal funds were full, Zhu Yuanzhang once again thought of moving the capital when he saw the scene in the capital.

Zhu Ying pondered for a moment and said: "Fengyang is now a little barren and has no water conservancy. It is not yet able to completely control the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not conducive to the development of the north."

"Without big rivers, the arrival of bulk goods will be more labor-intensive."

"If large-scale migration is carried out at this time, it will be a blow to the current excellent situation, but there will be unimaginable disasters."

With continuous learning, Zhu Ying became more clear about the situation in the world.

Although Fengyang is the old man's hometown, the location is not good.

Moreover, among the imperial forces, the nobles of Huaixi were all from Fengyang. Once the capital was moved to Fengyang, the forces would be intertwined. Although they could control them for a while, they would not be able to control them for a lifetime.

It also left a hidden danger for future emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen listened.

As expected, it was the eldest brother who refuted Grandpa Huang directly.

In fact, Zhu Yunwen was not too optimistic about Fengyang. Compared with the Jiangnan area, it was too desolate.

He's been there, but he doesn't want to be there.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not refute Da Sun's words.

In fact, he knew in his heart that moving the capital to Fengyang could only be an idea and could not be truly implemented.

Furthermore, when he went to Fengyang before, he also lost his attachment to the fellow villagers in Fengyang.

When I went to Fengyang for inspection, it happened that there was a flower drum opera in Fengyang. It was played in the streets and alleys. It was so catchy that Zhu Yuanzhang was very kind to it and ordered Jin Yiwei to go find out if it was praising him.

When the lyrics were played back, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed drastically after listening to it, and his heart was filled with despair.

"When talking about Fengyang, talk about Fengyang. Fengyang is a good place, but since Emperor Zhu came out, there have been nine years of drought in ten years."

This was quite heartbreaking, and Zhu Yuanzhang felt quite broken. He hoped that his hometown would be good, and he would build it for his hometown and make the people rich and prosperous.

Unexpectedly, officials at all levels exploited the people, and the people became homeless and begged for food. They also disliked him.

The gap in his heart was too big. Since people in his hometown didn't welcome him, why would he come back?

Since then, I have never returned to Fengyang.

Thinking of these past events, Zhu Yuanzhang had no interest in looking at the scenery.

However, the matter of moving the capital still needs to be discussed.

Nanjing is not a good place.

The feng shui of the Nanjing Imperial Palace is not very good either.

When Zhu Yuanzhang built the Yingtian Palace, he paid attention to Feng Shui issues and used Fugui Mountain in Zijin Mountain as the backing.

However, due to site constraints, the inner court was built on the filled-in Yanque Lake.

Although methods such as driving wooden piles, paving boulders, and tamping lime soil were used to strengthen the foundation during construction, the problem of sinking of the northern foundation still occurred over time. The topography of the palace was high in the front and low in the back, which was not good for Feng Shui.

In addition, the inner palace is prone to waterlogging when it rains and drainage is difficult. At the same time, the palace city is too close to the outer city, making it difficult to defend during war.

It sounds a bit metaphysical. The dynasties that had their capital in Nanjing since ancient times were all short-lived, and their fortunes were not very good.

Soochow, Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen were not unified dynasties.

But now that the Ming Dynasty has unified the world, there will naturally be some changes.

"What do you think of Xi'an?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Xi'an is located in the middle of the Guanzhong Plain, bordering the Wei River to the north and the Qinling Mountains to the south. Chang'an is moistened by eight rivers and is the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. It goes without saying that it has feng shui.

The First Emperor unified China and the Han Dynasty prospered, with Xi'an as the capital.

Including the construction of the palace and everything around it, it has been vigorously developed. Moving the capital to Xi'an can be said to have cost the least amount of money.

Moreover, by moving the capital to Xi'an, in the eyes of people all over the world, the Ming Dynasty will become a prosperous dynasty that once again dominates the Central Plains after the powerful Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Yingdao: "Xi'an is a good place with a very advantageous geographical environment. It is located on the Guanzhong Plain known as the "Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan" and is surrounded by mountains and rivers."

"The Qinling Mountains are in the south, Longshan Mountain is in the west, there is loess in the north, and across the Yellow River in the east, there is sedimentation of Yellow River silt. The Guanzhong area is thousands of miles of fertile wilderness and the situation is dangerous."

"And the external transportation is very convenient. There is a tunnel leading directly to Kanto for remote control, and the Wei River transports materials, which can ensure the city's continuous food and salary."

Seeing that Da Sun spoke in such detail, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then looked at Zhu Yunwen next to him who had not spoken much, and asked: "Yunwen, what do you think?"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned. He didn't know how long it had been since Grandpa Huang had passed his exam.

Unexpectedly, at this time, he would suddenly be tested by the school. This made him feel happy, and he quickly thought anxiously, and then said: "What the elder brother said is absolutely true."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite dissatisfied, but Zhu Yunwen obviously did not just say this, and continued: "Fan Ju of the Qin Dynasty once told King Qin Zhao about Xianyang."

"Four fortresses are considered solid. There are sweet springs and valley mouths in the north, Jingwei in the south, Longshu on the right, and Guanban on the left. We can attack millions of people and have thousands of chariots. If it is good, we will attack, and if it is not good, we will defend. This is the land of the king.

.”

"Although our Ming Dynasty is prosperous now, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky and misfortunes for people. If the world changes many years later, Xi'an will be able to cut off the south, west, and north through various passes, leaving only the east side.

"

"You can slowly recuperate and wait for the opportunity to go east to fight for the world. The First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, and Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty all achieved their imperial careers through this."

Zhu Yunwen talked eloquently, which made Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying look at him with admiration.

In fact, after no longer being tied to the throne, Zhu Yunwen's mind was basically on studying.

Although Confucianism has many limitations, it undoubtedly still has many excellences in formulating policies for governing the country.

Furthermore, since the Lu family wanted to seize the country overseas and occupied the city, Zhu Yunwen also felt the crisis, and he especially loved books on geography and military affairs.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

As the direct grandson of Emperor Ming, Zhu Yunwen's parents are both outstanding. As the saying goes, dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes. It is impossible to say that he is far behind.

Although this study is only theoretical knowledge, I understand more and more things.

"Okay, Yunwen, you have impressed us a bit. It seems that you have worked harder on your recent homework."

"To maintain this appearance, the descendants of our old Zhu family must all become outstanding."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to praise him, and Zhu Yunwen lowered his head shyly. He did not expect that Grandpa Huang would give such high recognition.

After thinking about it for a while, he replied: "The main thing here is the eldest brother. The eldest brother is so good, so as the younger brother, I can only study hard and keep up with the pace of the eldest brother."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said yes.

Being able to remain humble despite being praised shows that Yunwen has grown very quickly during this period.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel happier, which proved that his choice was correct.

It was at this moment that several sounds broke through the air.

"Grandpa, be careful!"

Zhu Ying shouted loudly, hugged the old man and dodged to the side.

In an instant, several sharp arrows flew past and hit the wooden pillar next to it.

The arrowhead has a cold glow, which is obviously quenched.
